Is it possible for posts to show the domain (TLD and SLD) of link posts?

Use case: I don't want to watch videos so I want to avoid clicking YouTube links. I would like to know that they are YouTube videos without having my phone spend the next minute trying to open YouTube.

Press and hold the thumbnail; is that want you want?

Yes, that information, but without having to long press. If it's displayed along with the post title, I can quickly see where it goes and skip to the next post if it's clearly a video. Otherwise, I have to read the title, decide if I'm interested in it, then do a long press, possibly to be disappointed by what I see.
